I had some pretty decent growth going into surgery and this is what my phallus looks like now, two days post op. I have full sensation, the doc touched it and i got all warm inside, lol. There is still alot of swelling and the surgeon said it will appear more as a phallus or penis if you will, once i get stage two done next year. I have to wait a minimum of 3 months before i can get the second stage which is a scrotoplasty with implants and a mons resection as well as moving my new phallus forward like a cis man. So far pain is very non existent and im healing well. They did end up using a buccal graft for the urethra reconstruction but theres no pain there either. I just feel the 6-7 dissolvable sutures. All in all im healing well and in great spirits. I get to go home 3 days earlier than expected and i dont have to go to a rehab facility like what was planned. More pics to come as i heal more and can actually bend over enough to see it. Will also post more about the foley coming out and what it looks like with the new urethra. My surgeon was dr kristen jacobs assistant to dr loren schechter. Dr kurlander from plastics scrubbed in as well as two gyne surgeons and a urology surgeon. Dr jacobs did the surgery without schechter helping but shes only allowed to do stage one by herself as shes only been doing this for like 2-5 years. Chicago at rush university medical center.
